Along with the report generation, the UI had to be rebuilt, initially the design was more like a data input form, this was changed to a WYSIWYG style system where the user could place grids and charts onto a page, reorder them, and try out different queries before creating a report. This was a more powerful tool than a simple form.• Investigated new JS libraries to speed up development, was in the decision process of choosing AngularJS as our framework moving forward. Our previous development had been very jQuery focused, this led to a lot of repeated code and of course bugs, we wanted to move away from this and more to a model based development which allowed us to bind data to HTML. AngularJS was a perfect choice for us for its community base and proven enterprise level application. I had first created a prototype for how this could fit into our existing systems and developed some of the first features that used AngularJS at Marin. Some of our other frameworks looked at were backbone and EmberJS.• Designed APIs and structures to support our grid and chart upgrade, we now have a well defined API that allows the system to be extended and quick to develop on.• Mentored other engineers to take them up to a senior level, where they were entrusted with difficult problems.

Focused on developing workforce management software for leading telecommunications companies, transportation companies, courier companies and hospitals. I lead the development team creating clients and server in C++, C# and C. The application had features such as mapping, scheduling and data communication to mobile devices. I developed on multiple mobile devices from mobile data transmitters (MDT) to the windows based .NET compact framework. I lead the conversion of the legacy applications from an in-house database to MYSQL. Along with development, I was part of the pre-sales consultation team, which provided clients with a view on how our system could help their company. We were successful in winning many major contracts and delivering on time.

Dante in collaboration with Compaq designed and developed network-monitoring systems for large telecommunications companies.

Initial development job, where I learned C and C++ development. Some of my achievements where debugging in-house database systems, accounting applications and UI applications developed in motif on Linux. During this time I developed client applications that would communicate to a C++ backend. I also had exposure to developing MDT using C. I was then mentored in developing reliable server applications in C++ with the ability to extend via modules to hook in multiple types of radio network libraries. I was fortunate to be able to cut my teeth with such talented developers where I learned about the importance of testing, design, debugging and ensuring that reliability was high on the list.
